A peripheral is a Minecraft block which can be controlled using the peripheral API. Sometimes this is the main purpose of the block, e.g. for monitors and printers. Other times, it is merely incidental to the block's main purpose.

Built-in peripherals

ComputerCraft itself includes some peripherals. Specifically:

Mod peripherals

Many mods add blocks which are peripherals. If this is the main purpose of the mod, it is often called a peripheral mod. Confusingly, this is sometimes shortened to peripheral.

Some mods, notably OpenPeripherals, add a peripheral ability to blocks which don't normally have it (such as chests).
